Description:
The rich autumn gold of our 2003 Chenin Blanc Ice Wine is the first indication of the intense concentration of the wine. Aromas of honeyed peach, melon, pear, apple and tropical fruit flow out of the glass and continue on the palate.

Varietal Definition
Chenin Blanc:
Classic white varietal of France's Loire Valley and now grown throughout the world. Known for its rather unusual 'wet-wool', 'damp straw' aromas, it tends to be more floral than fruity when young and gives high acidity, growing well in marginal climates. It ages well and its susceptibility to 'botrytis'* produces some of the great sweet wines of the Loire, for example Quarts de Chaume and Vouvray. It is grown widely in South Africa where it is known as 'Steen'.
